One Reason I Was Brought to Chaldea Was to Shatter My Peers' Resolve / Well Then, Mash, Come With Me to the Simulation Battle...

The Reason He Was Dragged to Chaldea Was Partly Because He Beat His Peers Until Their Dao Hearts Collapsed

The results you obtained have been rewritten and incorporated into Pan-Human History.
The Noble Phantasms and experiences you obtained have generated separate panels and been registered in the Throne of Heroes, which exists independently of all worldlines and timelines. If a summoning is triggered, the host may decide whether to answer it. If the summoning is answered, the host must personally go and respond.
They will not be separately recounted here.
The weapons obtained remain within the host's consciousness. There is no need to worry about losing them.

The system was about to enter standby mode to recharge. Please wait patiently for the next simulation.

Bai Ming clutched his head as he sat up in bed. "It's going into standby already? Forget it, let me recover first."

Even though the system had chosen a relatively gentle method for Bai Ming's "simulation," it was still quite a burden on him.

Decades of memories had not turned Bai Ming into "Bai Ming" thanks to the system's protection, but the price was that he needed to slowly digest the memories crammed into his mind. Just as Bai Ming closed his eyes and planned to actually get some sleep, someone knocked on his door.

"Is Mr. Bai Ming in?"

The voice was slightly distorted through the door, so Bai Ming could not immediately tell who was knocking. He did not care, though. He merely got up to glance at the door before lying back down and pulling the blanket over his head.

Mash knocked twice more outside. When no one answered, she eventually turned and left.

At that moment, Bai Ming suddenly opened his eyes and slapped the bed as he sprang up. He had suddenly remembered the substitute body the system had made for him. "I was the one who fucked her, but the cost of kidney deficiency was borne by another fake energy body. Holy shit, magical kidney tonic! I need to apply for a thaumaturgical patent for this thing."

System: Huh?

After taking only two steps, Bai Ming spotted the sick leave note on his table. He turned around and flopped back onto the bed.

At this point, he might as well sleep first.

"Sorry, Director Olga Marie. Mr. Bai Ming ignored me. He might have been feeling terrible and fallen asleep?"

Mash's sympathetic words made the Team A members seated around the table grumble inwardly.

The white-haired woman in a black uniform and red tights looked like she wanted to say something, but in the end she could only say indignantly, "If he wants to come, he comes. If he doesn't, then I won't have to worry about you all starting a fight on the spot. Whoever wants to can deliver this meeting report to him."

The members of Team A, Olga Marie included, glanced at the meeting report on the table and fell silent.

Who could go without getting mocked by him or beaten up?

Akuta Hinako believed she would have no problem going herself, but she had quite a temper and spoke harshly. Several of their arguments had actually started because of her tone.

"I have something to do later."

Kirschtaria, Team A's captain, stood and was the first to leave the meeting room. Beryl followed right behind him. He had no desire to get beaten back into the medical department right after leaving it. Kadoc also chose to rest first, citing his poor mental state. Daybit was not even considered because he only retained five minutes of memory per day.

Olga Marie, meanwhile, was somewhat afraid of Bai Ming because of his behavior, so she did not dare speak with him one-on-one herself.

At the moment, only Peperoncino, Mash, Ophelia, and Akuta Hinako remained. Everyone looked toward Mash, who was also a member of Team A.

"Can Mash go by herself?"

Mash panicked when she was singled out. "N-No, right?"

"Let me go instead."

Seeing everyone's timid expressions, Peperoncino said, "He actually just lacks a sense of security. As long as you communicate with him properly, there won't be a problem."

After walking through the long, winding corridors, Peperoncino stopped outside Bai Ming's room just as Bai Ming came out.

Bai Ming looked calmly at Peperoncino, seemingly curious about why he was there. Peperoncino smiled. "This is the meeting record for you."

Bai Ming spoke. "Scandinavia Peperoncino."

"Mm-hm~ That's me."

"Come on. Let's go to the cafeteria together. I want to talk with you."

Bai Ming turned and headed toward Chaldea's cafeteria. Peperoncino laughed and praised him, "See? I told you that you're a kind person. You wouldn't just attack or scold people for no reason. They only have a one-sided impression of you."

Bai Ming neither denied nor admitted it. He only said, "Part of the reason Marisbury brought me to Chaldea was because I beat my peers until their Dao Hearts collapsed. If I stayed, I would be their eternal shadow."

Like a straight man feeding lines in a comedy routine, Peperoncino replied, "Hmm... something like a shattered Buddha Heart, then. But you don't care at all about what other people say, do you, boy?"

"Why should I care?"

Peperoncino was still smiling. "Oh my, tossing the question back at me isn't a very good habit."

The two walked in silence all the way to Chaldea's cafeteria. Bai Ming ordered a plate of garlic pepper pasta, then carried it over and sat beneath a patch of shadow.

"Are you taking a jab at me?"

Translated literally, Scandinavia Peperoncino meant garlic pepper pasta in a dark place. Seeing Bai Ming's behavior, Peperoncino found it endlessly amusing.

"So, boy, what troubles do you want to share with me?"

"I just wanted to eat with someone. But in all of Team A, aside from myself, you're the only one I find remotely pleasant to look at."

Peperoncino was surprised by that answer, then ordered a plate of garlic pepper pasta as well. "That really is a surprising answer. Can you tell me why you dislike the others, then?"

"In short, Kadoc is an insecure loser, Ophelia is lovesick, Akuta Hinako is a gloomy shut-in girl who puts on an act, Kirschtaria is full of himself, Daybit is a patient, so I won't comment on him, and Beryl is completely unrecyclable trash, inside and out."

"Oh my, such sharp words. No wonder Akuta Hinako said she had to watch out for the barbs in your speech when talking to you. Then what about Mash and me?"

Peperoncino asked with slight exaggeration. Bai Ming answered, "You're a pervert with a male body and a woman's heart, but compared to the other Magi, your values are perfectly normal. That's why I find you reasonably pleasant."

"Isn't Mash cute?"

"Cute is cute—" Bai Ming looked at Peperoncino. "I hate how she lives without any sense of self."

"Ah... a sense of self."

After sighing, Peperoncino focused on eating his pasta, and Bai Ming said nothing more.

Bai Ming knew that Peperoncino had stayed after delivering the meeting record because he wanted to act as a mediator between him and the other Team A members. You did not slap a smiling face, and Bai Ming was happy to give Peperoncino that much respect.

Then Mash Can Accompany Me to the Mock Battle

After eating, Peperoncino gained a general understanding of Bai Ming. He was not worried that Bai Ming would do anything excessive, but he had to admit that Bai Ming was an extremely dangerous presence.

As long as people were alive and had social relationships, they would have countless restraints, to the point that restrained people could not act entirely as they pleased.

Bai Ming, however, seemed never to worry about such restraints. If one had to put it into words, it was Preserve Truth of Nature: doing as he pleased without letting external things burden his form.

After parting with Peperoncino, Bai Ming headed straight for Da Vinci's Magic Workshop.

Bai Ming stopped before the workshop, considering how he should break into Da Vinci's Magic Workshop. After thinking it over, a smile appeared on his face, and he knocked on the workshop's door.

"Hey! Da Vinci! Come look at this Mo↑na↓ Li↑sa↓ smile~!"

Seeing Bai Ming looking as radiant as sunshine, Da Vinci's heart skipped a beat—don't misunderstand, it was not infatuation. It was simply a warning sign before a heart attack. Bai Ming and Olga Marie were both notorious in Chaldea for being difficult to deal with.

"Bai Ming, are you here to mess with my Magic Workshop? Also, my current body was designed after the Mona Lisa, so no matter how you smile, it can't compare to mine."

She was a dignified woman with a married woman's hairstyle and a blue dress that fell past her knees—though of course, her true core was an incomparably beautiful young man, not an elegant, pure yet seductive Italian noblewoman like her appearance suggested.

Bai Ming stepped forward, and Da Vinci hurriedly came out from behind her workbench to block his path. Bai Ming did not mind. "My dear Da Vinci, there's nothing wrong with saying that. I want to make some adjustments to the control room, but I don't want anyone else to know, so I could only come to you."

"Fine, as long as you don't touch my things carelessly."

Da Vinci poured Bai Ming a cup of black tea and gestured for him to sit to the side and talk with her slowly. Bai Ming said, "I'm a Magus too. Though I'm only a third-rate one, I know how important a Magic Workshop is to a Magus, so I won't mess around. But I do want to make a Magic Workshop of my own in Chaldea."

"Then, Bai Ming."

Da Vinci curled a finger around her smooth hair and asked, "What adjustments do you want to make to the control room?"

"I feel that Chaldea isn't secure enough. If we can maintain a defensive barrier outside, it can be considered safe, but if something happens inside Chaldea itself, I think things could become very bad very quickly."

"Hmm..."

Hearing Bai Ming's suggestion, Da Vinci fell silent. It was something she had never considered.

"You have a point, but there's no way to make changes without involving other people." Da Vinci flipped through the books on the table and said worriedly, "I feel like everyone inside Chaldea is one of our own... Why do you always feel so insecure? I'd heard that many Chinese people were the sort with an abundance of martial virtue, but after meeting you, Bai Ming, that stereotype has been greatly reinforced."

"That counts as a stereotype?"

Bai Ming was puzzled, but he still made his request. "Even if we can't modify the entire control room, how about reinforcing my Spiritron frame alone and adding protections against explosions, fire, and impacts?"

"That won't be difficult... But why are you so insecure?!"

With a bang, Da Vinci closed the book. Bai Ming said, "Even Da Vinci, the universal genius, doesn't know why I lack a sense of security?"

"Is that flattery? That's definitely flattery, right?" Da Vinci could not hold herself back any longer. "Then let Da Vinci properly analyze it for you. Generally speaking, a lack of security can come from harm suffered in one's upbringing, recent experiences of failure or rejection..."

Da Vinci's voice abruptly stopped, and she stared at Bai Ming without saying a word.

"Why did you stop, Da Vinci? I'm listening."

"I was thinking that perhaps you have future sight and saw something, but for some reason you can't say it aloud. So you can only make these strange requests, and the repeated rejections have caused you to lose your sense of security."

The more Da Vinci looked at Bai Ming, the more she felt that was the case. Bai Ming said, "You know me, Da Vinci. I've never cared whether I'm accepted or rejected, nor do I care what others say."

"Oh, I don't care. Chaldea is safe, anyway. I'll upgrade your Spiritron frame soon. Now get out of my Magic Workshop. If you have nothing to do, go watch that Magic★Merli with Doctor Roman." Da Vinci began ushering him out. "Don't think I'm sick of you. It's just that if I'm going to meet your requirements while ensuring the Spiritron frame still functions normally, I need to calculate things carefully."

After saying that, Da Vinci handed Bai Ming an exquisite mechanical device and pushed him toward the exit of the Magic Workshop. "This is a portable Magic Workshop. You can deploy it in your room. Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye!"

With a bang, the door shut.

Bai Ming felt bored and planned to return to his room, but heaven did not grant his wishes.

A pair of beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings entered Bai Ming's sight.

Mash Kyrielight instinctively took a step back when she saw Bai Ming, but she still greeted him timidly. "Hello, Mr. Bai Ming."

"Don't be so afraid of me, miss." Bai Ming's voice was gentle. Mash said, "I... I don't think Mr. Bai Ming is frightening. It's just that whenever I see you, my Spirit Origin becomes restless with fear. It wasn't obvious before, but after Mr. Bai Ming reprimanded me last time, that agitation became very clear."

Mash being a Demi-Servant was no secret among Chaldea's Team A, but the fact that her Spirit Origin became restless whenever she saw Bai Ming scolding someone was Mash's secret.

"I see." Bai Ming looked at Mash's legs a few more times, confirmed that Mash's essence was still marshmallows, and then began to regard her seriously. "Keep it up, Mash."

"Ah—I will! Thank you, Senpai!"

She did not know what she was supposed to keep at, but it was unprecedented encouragement from Senpai Bai Ming!

Mash felt strangely proud, then asked, "Senpai, have you read today's meeting report? It concerns the mock battle before Spiritron Transfer."

Seeing Bai Ming's confused expression, Mash guessed that this Senpai, who had been too lazy to attend the meeting, had not read the report she had carefully recorded during it.

"A mock battle... I have nothing to do right now. After I put this thing away, Mash, come with me to check out that mock battle."

Though she was still somewhat afraid of Bai Ming, Mash resolutely agreed. On her way here, she had run into Peperoncino, who said that Bai Ming was not actually as frightening as Beryl and Akuta Hinako made him out to be.

"Okay!"

"Welcome to the archive that tells the story of humanity's future. This is the Human Order Continuity Guarantee Institution, Chaldea."

"We wish you a pleasant stay."

After scanning Bai Ming and Mash, who had arrived at the mock battle site, the broadcast voice let them pass.

"Come to think of it, Senpai, the broadcast speaks with a human voice, but the thing making the sound isn't actually human."

Perhaps sensing the slight awkwardness in their silence as they walked together, Mash proactively started a conversation. "It isn't manually controlled. It's a voice generated spontaneously by Chaldeas."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, yes."
